Hello, I have had Vandersteen 1c's and 2ce's that I have driven with Rotel RA970 integrated amps, Mission Cyrus One, and Adcom GCA-510 integrated amps, all with great sound. You should be able to find any of these used for 250.00 or so. The best I ever used on the 1c's was a YBA Integre DT integrated but it was 4 times as expensive too. Good luck!
